DOWNLOADSOffshore Navigator Lite Update
This download will update all previous versions of Offshore Navigator Lite to version 5.08. We are proud to provide this free software update to all of our Offshore Navigator Lite customers. *This download is 32 bit compatible only, for 64 bit users see below for ordering a new Installer.

What's New...
The major new features include support for many Garmin GPS units. Please note that a separate download is required for Garmin USB GPS support.

What's Fixed...
This release corrects an instance where the application can fail unexpectedly while receiving satellite status info from NMEA GPS units. It also corrects problems loading and displaying certain charts created by NDI, the producer of Canadian nautical charts. Finally, there are many minor fixes and improvements that increase the reliability and usability of the application.

Note: Customers who do not have British Admiralty tide information for 2010 will need to contact our UK Distributor for updated tidal information. This download patch does not add 2010 BA Tides to existing installations - and it only enables the use of the tidal data up through the year 2009.

English-Language Editions ONLY
Please note that this update is NOT for use with the non-English language editions of Offshore Navigator (French, German, Italian, or Spanish.) Please contact the Maptech distributor in your country for the 5.07d update in that language.

Rebuilding The List
In some cases, you may need to "Rebuild" your chart list in order to activate your charts, or to take advantage of corrected tidal displays. If you are missing charts, or can not view tidal information after you have installed this update, open the Chart List, select Advanced Chart Management, and press Rebuild.

Additional Updates for Specific GPS Units
In addition to this patch, there are a whole family of Garmin USB GPS units that are now compatible with this Navigation software. Click here for more details.
